Good stuff, now let's see if another trade goes down.

Main boards are getting saltier by the minute (don't worry mods, no trolling).
 
Never even entertained the idea he'd sign here. I guess I fell for HFB's "The Rangers are done"-narrative. Our forward group looks very good for years to come and we still have an elite goalie.. Maybe the dark days are still a few years away ;)
 
Assuming we'll see

Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello
Nash-Zibanejad-Miller
Buchnevich-Hayes-Vesey
Grabner-Jooris-Fast

Lindberg on IR. Extras are Jensen, Gerbe and Hrivik. Glass to the minors.

Forward group looks very solid, and very deep. You have 4 options to step in now in the event of injuries.

Switch Buch & Vesey. Buch has played alot of Right Wing in the KHL and I believe Jimmy is a LW.

I can't find many NHL talent evaluators who don't think this kid is an NHL-ready top-nine forward, and perhaps ready to score 20 goals, as a starting point anyway, with the potential for maybe more. Better still, for a UFA, he's highly cost efficient. He's going to get the same standard NHL entry level deal from the team that signs him as he was from Nashville. There's no financial bidding war here.

With all the circus surrounding Vesey and his impending free agency this summer, it can be easy to forget what all the controversy was about, and why Nashville wanted so desperately to sign him in the first place. Vesey is the rare college player that could step immediately onto the roster of an NHL playoff team and not miss a beat.

Vesey combines a big frame with quick feet and good weight shift making him very difficult to knock off the puck or slow down on the rush. He's got great goal-scoring touch around the net and has the hands to set up a teammate with a nice.

Whichever team lands Vesey this summer will be picking up a player that should be able to step in right away and play a third line role, with him potentially developing into a top-six forward once he fully adjusts to the pro game.

Zucc deal for Shattenkirk (no Intel just hopeful)

What in the hell?? Why would you be hopeful for such a thing? It's beyond an absurd proposition. And even beyond the obvious tragic logical flaws in it, Zucc is also our heart! Other than hank and Mac, he's the only other person that would really upset me if he left, on a personal level. He's like our mascot lol.

And awesome news with Vessey! Not surprised at all, cause I could just tell from the way his agent had been talking that it was likely he'd end up here. But glad the mystery is finally over!

This kid's totally got potential, and though of course our expectations should be realistic, I have a feeling he will be a much more solid acquisition going forward than Hayes had been (who was a downright trainwreck last season). Hell, maybe he can even help Hayesey play better.

But definitely will be a different feel going into this season. Will be interesting to see which forward will be going... Anyone but Step (smiley) or Zucc is fine by me!
 
By the way Buchnevich got the same promise Vesey did top 9 mins.

Was just telling has something has to give and it will be zucc or Nash.
 
They're not playing two rookies with iffy defensive scouting reports with Hayes let's be honest.

Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello
Nash-Zibanejad-Miller
Buchnevich-Hayes-Vesey

Miller is LW, Buch is RW, Vesey is LW, Nash can play both - you botched this.

Why?

Nash-Zib-Zuc
Kreider-Step-JT
Vesey-Hayes-Buch
Grabner-Jooris/Lindberg-Gerbe

If anything Fast is the guy who gets moved
 
Nash or Zucc dealt for D help would be nice. Who is out there? Honka would be nice, but they don't need wingers.

Starters currently

Kreider Stepan Nash
Miller Zib Zucc
Vesey Hayes Buch
Grabner Jooris Fast
